I use no-machine for this
www.nomachine.com
One downloads the binary client for windows or linux.
One can use a free version of nx on the server.
I use this to access my home PC email system, thus ensuring that I do
not introduce any viruses to my work. (Pretty unlikely, being that I
run linux at home, and windows at work)
It runs very nicely over ssh.
